We loved Mr Keith so much I met him working at TA and the rest history! He took me and my son flying for the first time !! He gave us such an amazing memory to hold of him! He called me just when he found out about his cancer. Me and my family literally live just 2 min from him we would visit and help as much as we could or that he would let us lol he was very head strong ! In the 4 years we got to love him as family he taught is so much! Or last visit was just in Aug he helped my son with math using his birthday to distract him from his cancer because my son watch his adopted grampaw go through blader and bone cancer from beginning to end , so he saw boogie was scared and asked about his now homeschooling and that was all it took! Mr Keith was always at my rescue when something broke bless him I called him my dryer hero because it never failed he always could fix it!! We love his so warming smile and contagious sarcasm and playful sense of humor! Thank you for sharing such an amazing smart loving strong willed man with this world !! He was so proud he got so much taken care of before he passes he wanted to be sure his family was well taken care of and could grieve without stress or having to deal with to much I'm so proud of him!
